kernel-package (13.014) unstable; urgency=medium
* There was a bug in the dh install configuration file, that moved all
kernel-package conf files to /etc/etc/. This commit fixes that.
(Closes: #751751).
* jumped on a s390x porterbox, and created initial support for a s390x
architecture, based mostly on what we did for s390. (Closes: #750604).
* Bug fix #751751: "conffiles not removed", thanks to Paul Wise. We
handled obsolete conffiles sub-optimally since they were not really
supposed to be obsolete.
* Bug fix #750604: "No Support in kernel-package for s390x
architecture", thanks to Stephen Powell

kernel-package (13.013) unstable; urgency=low
* kernel-img built with the current kernel-package fails to install on
an older system (wheezy) due to dependency on kernel-common package
which is not available there. Based on a suggestion by Michal Hocko,
changed the relationship to a Recommends, which is what it should have
been in the first place. (Closes: #749318).
* Since the linux-image packages produced by make-kpkg recommend
kernel-common, , development packages could be forced on to systems
which installl kernel-common just for the man page. A patch from Sven
Joachim fixes this oversight. (Closes: #749388).
* Bug fix #749318: "kernel-img depends on kernel-common", thanks to
Michal Hocko
* Bug fix #749388: "postinst should not call dpkg-architecture", thanks

kernel-package (13.012) unstable; urgency=low
* There are three different views of what architecture a machine hasL
That of the linux kernel, that of dpkg, and that of the GNU
configuration systems, So, when the user specifies arch and subarch,
the information has to be transformed for all the systems, as
required. This commit tries to give the correct information to dpkg,
and also still take into account sub architecture specifications.
(Closes: #748702).
* Add a dependency on dpkg-dev for the kernel-common package, since the
maintainer scripts use dpkg-architecture. Alsom kernel-package can't
really do anything useful without pkg-dev, so added there as well.
(Closes: #748862).
* Bug fix #748702: "make-kpkg creates packages with missing architecture
on i386", thanks to Sven Joachim
* Bug fix #748862: "missing dependency on dpkg-dev", thanks to Adam

kernel-package (13.011) unstable; urgency=low
* The fix for building packages with the correct sub--architecture was
flawed, in the sense it always looked at theKPKG_ARCH, even when there
was no need to stray away from DEB_HOST_ARCH. This commit relieas on
dpkg-architecture to tell us what the proper arch should be for a
situation where we are building for a subarchitecture.
(Closes: #748316).
* Bug fix #748316: "Arch set to x86_64 instead of amd64", thanks to Geoff

kernel-package (13.010) unstable; urgency=low
* No longer have generated kernel images depend on ksymoops, a long
defunct package, since it is useless with kernels >= 2.6.
(Closes: #748066).
* When the user asks for the arch name to be part of the kernel image
package version string, only image and debig packages included the
arch in the name. This commit makes the name of the header package
also be consistent with the image names. At this point, the source and
document/manual package names remain generic, since arch specific
differences should not exist in those packages. (Closes: #568576).
* the image packages generated by kernel-package also build in the
modules requested in the configuration file, so there is no
linux-moules-* package. However, in case there are dependencies on
that package name, the image package now also claims to provide the
modules package. (Closes: #599815).
* In order to ease the life of people cross compiling, or building for a
subarch, do not call dpkg-gencontrol with the host archtecture, but
rather, with the architecture we built the kernel image for.
(Closes: #563300).
* Hopped on to an armel machine to test make-kpkg. The CPU is reported
as arm by dpkg-architecture, so the top level logic in kernel-package
was correct.Unfortunately, the armel specific file wassumed the CPU
was armel, so nothing got included. Corrected that inner check in
this release. (Closes: #664854).
* Bug fix #748066: "generated linux-image packages suggest ksymoops",
thanks to Sven Joachim

kernel-package (13.008) unstable; urgency=low
* The underlying kernel tree has long removed support for zImage
images. This makes bzImage the default, so there is no need to have
the user specify one or the other, so removed the --zImage and the
--bzImage options from kernel-package. Removing this also removed code
that caused confusion in the image names when --bzImage argment was
used. (Closes: #574957).
* Modified the manual pages to reflect the changes aboue. Updated the
po4a .po files and .pot files. Also clarified the requirements for
running as root,, and emphasized that fakeroot is th way to go, and
running as root is not recommended. Clarified that make-kpkg is
supposed to be run after configuring the kernel. (Closes: #704116).
* Previously, the Debian revision had to contain a digit. Now dpkg
complains if it does not start with a digit. Updated the sanity
checks to test for this new constraint. (Closes: #674101).
* Bug fix #574957: "Installation od XEN kernel images fails.", thanks to
Christian Motschke

kernel-package (13.007) unstable; urgency=low
* armel systems show upwith DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU=arm, same as arm, but with
DEB_HOST_ARCH=armel. This commit loads the proper configuration file,
otherwise make-kpkg thought that building on a sheevaplug was cross
compiling for arm. (Closes: #686159).

kernel-package (13.005) unstable; urgency=low
* Normally, if the kernel configuration file enables support for
modules, the kernel image package produced by kernel-package contains
the modules, and the modules have a link to the location of the
debugging symbols file for the mdoule, usually installed by the debug
package. However, adding this link changes the signature of the module,
which is not a good thing is module signing is also enabled. This
version does not install the link to debug symbols if module signing
is enabled in kernel configuration. Please recompile without moduile
signatures in order to debug modules. (Closes: #722946).
* Bug fix #722946: "corrupts module signatures due to objcopy
--add-gnu-debuglink", thanks to Henrique de Moraes Holschuh

kernel-package (13.004) unstable; urgency=low
* There were some places where we still recommended custom.1.0 instead
of 1.0.custom, even though the former is now not acceptable. This
commit fixes the remaining locations where that advice was incorrect.
* When compiling in a git checkout of the kernel sources: the
KERNELRELEASE variable contains the key word dirty, even though the
tree is clean, and verified by git status. This is caused by using
fakeroot make-kpkg .../ Updated documentation to not the preferred
form is to use make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot to avoid this.
(Closes: #717807).
* If you build from the git tree of the linux kernel, and you are not on
a tagged branch, the script scripts/setlocalversion will append a plus
sign to the version if the repository is not in a clean annotated or
signed tagged state and LOCALVERSION= is not specified. This creates
problems when packaging the resulting image. Updated the documentation
for workarounds. (Closes: #721482).
* Patch to build uImage kernels for ARM by Andrew Bradford. This adds
the --uimage option to build a uImage kernel for ARM systems. Needs
uboot-mkimage installed to do so, This package contains the mkimage
utility, which encapsulates a compressed "uImage" Linux kerel image
with header information, CRC32 checksum, etc, for use with the U-Boot
bootloader. (Closes: #572117).
* Since the debug images all upload files in the same location, they
conflict with each other. (Closes: #570635).
* Starting with 2.6.35 there is a new kernel config target (nconfig)
which is something like menuconfig just a bit fancier. Added support
for that. (Closes: #590446).
* The generated image packages now suggest the corresponding manual
packages, in addition to the doc packages. Made the doc and manual
packages suggest each other. (Closes: #593895).

kernel-package (13.003) unstable; urgency=low
* The image installation process upstream has changed; and uses the
/sbin/installkernel method now (which is not really aware of
installing into a temp directory for packaging). Updating the install
process to match. This also means that this version of kernel-package
can not compile kernels older than July 2009.
* Fixed a typo in the control file for debug image packages.
* Just compiled a kernel linux-image-3.15.0-rc4 with these changes
(Closes: #745686).
* To build a kernel with LZ4 compression enabled, lz4c is
needed. Added a suggests for liblz4-tool (Closes: #746539).
* As part of an effort to deter kernel exploits, System.map and the
kernel image should be made readable by root only to prevent attackers
from getting knowledge of kernel addresses. This version of kernel
package does exactly that. (Closes: #615029).
* Upstream kernel Makefiles provide an header_install target to install
sanitized headers into the destination. Use that while generating the
headers package. (Closes: #696922).
* Bash autocomletion doesn't support all target commands. Bartosz Janda
provided an updated autocomplete script (Closes: #696264).
* Previously the lguest source moved from Documentation/lguest to
Documentation/virtual/lguest, and more recently it moved again to
tools/lguest. Look now in all these places. (Closes: #690813).
* The documentation for the kernel requires db2html from the
docvoot-utils package to render. kernel-package has always Suggested
the package, but there was some surprise when the documentation
packages ended up mostly empty. Moved the relationship to Recommends.
(Closes: #593894).

kernel-package (13.000) unstable; urgency=low
* Move to a new build system based on dh. This is just for
kernel-package, no changes have yet been made to the generated package
build system.
* Move way from git modules to a flatter structure, to better use
standard git build frameworks. (Closes: #690002).
* Updated the dependency to from module-init-tools -> kmod, since the
module-init-tools is an obsolete transitional package.
(Closes: #733701, #663358, )
* As of 3.8-rc2, kernel building requires bc(1. Added bc as a dependency
for kernel-package, so that building a kernel will work again
(Closes: #705587, #702600, #742674).
* There are new configuration options called CONFIG_MODULE_*, which
confuse the regular expression trying to detect whether modules are
configured or not. Modified the regular expression to detect
whether modules are configured as suggested by Stefan Gehn.
(Closes: #696537).
* make-kpkg failed to cross build armhf kernels. The supplied patch by
Karsten Merker adds a few missing definitions which are only used in
the case of cross-building (Closes: #728014).
* The UTS_RELEASE definition was moved from
$(KERN_ROOT)/include/linux/utsrelease.h to
$(KERN_ROOT)/include/generated/utsrelease.h. The current version looks
in both places. Fix sggested by mahashakti89, (Closes: #591793).
* find -perm syntax changed from -perl +XXX to -prem /xxx. Fixed
the use of find -perm in the one location I found it in
(Closes: #724775).
* Added a dependency on initramfs-tools into the generated linux-image
packages, (Closes: #652637).
* kernel package was not building a vmlinuz image for mipsel loongson
cpu. Applied the patch from liushiwei to allow make-kpkg build
vmlinuz on mipsel loongson cpu machines (Closes: #593857).
* if the file include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h exists then
include/linux/version.h must not be added to
linux-headers-... package. The former should not exist, and if it does
it is a mistake. (Closes: #734310).
* dpkg: warning: obsolete option '--print-installation-architecture',
use '--print-architecture' instead. Replaced all instances of dpkg
--print-installation-architecture in the package. (Closes: #597637).
* The following bugs were fixed in this release:
* Bug fix #733701: "please do not depend on module-init-tools", thanks to

* Bug fix #690002: "Git package repository contains empty directory
`debian/`", thanks to Paul Menzel. The problem is not that the git
repository had an empty debian directory, the issue was that
kernel-package uses git modules. One has to (recursively) expand the
modules. However, whith this commit, we move away from git modules to
a flat structure.
